The synthesis of novel heterocyclic compounds, particularly those targeting critical signaling pathways in cancer, represents a promising approach to drug development. In this study, we designed and synthesized a series of thiazole-integrated pyrrolotriazinone derivatives, aiming to combine the antiproliferative properties of thiazole with the PI3K inhibitory activity of pyrrolotriazinones. The PI3K pathway, which plays a critical role in regulating cell growth, proliferation, and survival, is frequently dysregulated in cancer, making it an attractive target for therapeutic intervention. The synthesized derivatives were evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against MCF-7, A549, and HepG2 cancer cell lines. Their effect on PI3K protein levels was assessed to evaluate their potential as PI3K inhibitors. Preliminary results indicate that these thiazole-pyrrolotriazinone hybrids exhibit significant cytotoxic effects and may reduce PI3K protein levels in cancer cells. Furthermore, drug-likeness assessments and pre-ADMET evaluations demonstrated that the compounds exhibited promising characteristics, supporting their potential as viable drug candidates. Overall, this study highlights the potential of these novel compounds in cancer therapy and provides valuable insights into the design of small molecules that can target key regulatory pathways involved in cancer progression.
